Title: Vehicle controller
Inventor: ELVIR HASEDZIC
IPC: G07C9/00
Filed: 2018-10-04
Abstract: The vehicle controller 100 comprises: an input 6, 7 which receives data 61, 71 concerning an area around a vehicle; a processing module 14 which analyzes the data to detect the presence of a user and determine one or more body landmarks of the user within the data and subsequently determine the user's intent in accordance with the position of the or each body landmark; and a control module 15 which issues a control signal to initiate an vehicular action dependent on the user's intent. The body landmarks are preferably body parts. The user’s intent is inferred from user’s movement, such as the user approaching the vehicle or making a gesture. Preferably, the initiated action is to open a door of the vehicle. Preferably, the body landmark positions are tracked relative to the vehicle over a time period, where a user trajectory can be determined, and the tracked movement of the body landmarks can be compared with a gait pattern. The vehicle controller preferably receives a signal from a keyfob, the action only initiated if the signal from the keyfob matches a stored keyfob identifier. A method determining a user’s intent to access a vehicle is also disclosed.

IPC: H04N7/18
Filed: 2019-01-04
Abstract: A method of compositing videos without decompressing or decrypting the video streams. A compositor 12 receives encrypted image data portions 32 of a frame of image data 33, along with a first metadata, portion metadata, indicating a location of the compressed portions in the frame, a size of the portions, and compression parameters or protocols. The compositor also receives a second metadata, frame metadata 34A-C, indicating a size of the frame and a format of the frame. The compositor then composites the compressed portions without decompressing them 33, based on the portion and frame metadata, by generating composited frame metadata 35 indicating a size of the composited frame and a format of the composited frame and amending the portion metadata to indicate a location of the compressed portions in the frame, and transmitting the portions, the composited frame metadata and the amended portion metadata to a display. The different portions may be compressed using different compression parameters.

Title: Methods and apparatuses for optimized multi-ap coordination
Inventor: PASCAL VIGER
IPC: H04W84/12
Filed: 2020-05-29
Abstract: A coordinator device shares a transmission opportunity (TXOP) with other wireless devices, where all the devices may be access points. The coordinator transmits an announcing frame (710) to share the resources of the TXOP, the frame including a short starting portion and a large data portion. In response to receiving the announcing frame, the other devices transmit a re-announcing frame (720) which repeats the large data portion. Transmission of the re-announcing frame may be dependent on the other access points determining that the shared wireless resources do not encompass their primary channel. Access points having to switch their primary channel may have to re-announce resource sharing. The re-announcing frame may comprise an empty transmitter address (TA) field or no TA field in its MAC header. Its transmission allows stations outside the range of the coordinator to share the TXOP. The scheme is directed for use with multi-AP collaboration according to the 802.11be standard.

Inventor: MICHAEL RUSSELL
IPC: G01S5/02
Filed: 2022-09-08
Abstract: Disclosed are systems and methods for tracking the position of objects associated with Ultra-Wideband (UWB) tags. A system 400 includes ultra-wideband (UWB) tags 116 located for association with respective objects 302, 306… 3030 in an environment, where each UWB tag is identified with a digital label indicative of the association with one or more of the objects. A tracking service is implemented to receive initial location data for the objects from each of the UWB tags that are associated with the objects, and generate an object identity database in which each of the objects are identified by their respective initial location data. The tracking service can monitor for movement of an object that is identified by the initial location data based on subsequent positioning data associated with the object. The movement of an object is monitored for an unauthorized relocation of the object, for a cluster of multiple objects moving together, and/or for an abnormal proximity of multiple objects in the environment. The system and methods may be used to detect attempted theft and/or unauthorised removal of the objects.

IPC: G01N21/39
Filed: 2020-07-10
Abstract: A multi-frequency modulation method for gas concentration measurement, a gas concentration measurement method and system, and an apparatus. The multi-frequency modulation method comprises: step S1, adjusting the amplitude of a basic modulation signal, so that the abscissa of a peak point in a secondary harmonic absorption curve output by a multi-frequency modulation gas concentration measurement system is the same as the abscissa of a minimum point enveloped by background interference fringes; and step S2, respectively adjusting the amplitude and frequency of a jitter modulation signal on the basis of an amplitude adjusting interval and a frequency adjusting interval of the jitter modulation signal. The jitter modulation signal is added to an original single-frequency modulation system to constitute a multi-frequency modulation system, and by adjusting the amplitude of the basic modulation signal and the amplitude and frequency of the jitter modulation signal, background interference fringe noises can be effectively suppressed, thereby facilitating improving the signal-noise ratio and the gas concentration measurement accuracy of the system.
